MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1547.001 Registry Run Keys / Startup Folder

The VBA macro Auto_Open function is designed to execute upon opening the document. It reconstructs the URL "https://www.bitly.com/haiajdwdijwwdhwiddwijwij" and writes it to the registry Run key under the name "Updater", establishing persistence. The presence of a renamed VBA project and GetObject call further indicate malicious intent.

Heuristics 7

  • ClamAV: Win.Malware.Agent-9872331-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Malware.Agent-9872331-0
  • VBA project inside OOXML medium 4 related findings OOXML_VBA
    Document contains a VBA project — VBA macros present (project part renamed away from vbaProject.bin: ppt/chuchu.bin)
  • VBA project part renamed to evade filename detection high OOXML_VBA_PROJECT_RENAMED
    The VBA project is bound through the OOXML relationship/content type but its part is not named vbaProject.bin. Legitimate Office producers always emit vbaProject.bin; renaming it hides the macros from path-only scanners (observed in the SVCReady loader).
  • Auto_Open macro high OLE_VBA_AUTO
    Auto_Open macro
  • GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJ
    GetObject call
  • VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens high OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC
    Compiled VBA/cache stream contains an auto-execution token together with shell/download/object-execution tokens. This catches p-code-only or source-extraction-failure macro documents where visible source is unavailable.
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
    URL https://www.bitly.com/haiajdwdijwwdhwiddwijwij In document text (OOXML body / shared strings)
